    Wish the water would have been calmer for a better reflection.

    Nice without the reflection. The reflection really makes it special.

    Excellent work on this one !

    I was wondering about a minor shift in the crop -- keep the aspect ratio but pull it down somewhat to reveal less of the grass above the bear's head, and more of the golden waters.

    Love the light and the reflection. Also like the head turn and the catchlight in the eye.

    Nice light and reflection Dale. Was that Floating Island Lake? I saw black bears there a few times this spring.
